I guess Mr. Boehner is hoping the GOP has control of both houses next session. I wonder if they will still march in lockstep once they have control? Or will it be like the Dems and one or two will figure out they can get a bit more for themselves, if they hold out.

Fark you Bohner. If sequestration hits there are going to be massive layoffs in multiple industries that will ripple through the whole economy. Do your damn job so the private sector can actually plan for the future.

The Stealth Hippopotamus:I see his point. We are in a representative republic and the people have said that these people no longer represent them. Maybe they can use this time to find other jobs and clear out their desks.

Yeah. Let's spend a quarter of the year without duly elected representation.

You can point to the Bachmans ands Wests all day long, but to me Boehner really sums up how bad the GOP has become. You'll always get your fringe wackos...but when this guy is the best your House Majority can come up with to be Speaker and third in line to the Presidency you are totally farked.

We really need to amend the Constitution to reflect the 21st Century's level of transportation and communication. It doesn't take four weeks to get to D.C. by horse any more.

Aarontology:I really wish I was a Republican so I could just flat out refuse to do my f*cking job.

But here I am, working like a sucker and earning my money.

So you are completely ignorant to the fact Reid said as much earlier this year when he stated he didn't need to pass a swayed budget? Please tell me again how it is republicans and nit liberals passing on their obligations. The house has passed multiple bills and budgets that Reid refuses to even send to committee. Maybe you should stop throwing rocks in that house of yours.
